Virtual Disks

When a guest is created from a template, a disk image is created for each disk specified in the template. If you would like to add disks to a guest after it has been created, you can either use the vm add command, or create the disk image then update the configuration file manually.

Below are some examples of supported disk configurations

Simple Sparse File

disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0.img"

Sparse ZVOL

Non sparse zvols are also supported by just specifying disk0_dev="zvol"

disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0"
disk0_dev="sparse-zvol"

Custom Disk

This allows you to specify a custom path to a disk image. The disk could be a sparse file, a ZVOL, or even a real disk under /dev/

disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="/dev/ada10"
disk0_dev="custom"

Simple Sparse File With Options

disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0.img"
disk0_opts="nocache,direct"
